NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON.
The Flagship Richmond and the Cor
vette Yantic in Port.

Two men-of-war belonging to the North
Atlantic Squadron, under command of Rear
Admiral Stephen Il. Luce, u. S. Navy, ar
rived in port yesterday. The two vessels are
the flagship Richmond, flying the flag of the
Commander-in.C Chief, Captain Robert Boyd,
U. S. Navy, commanding, and the corvette
Yantic, Commander Francis M. Greene, u.
S. Navy
The Yantic, which arrived here yesterday
morning from Boston, is well known in this
port, as she was last here a year ago, when
the North Atlantic Squadron participated in
the ceremonies of July Fourth; but the
Richmond has never been here before. 1t
was the old frigate Tennessee, commanded
by the same Admiral and Captain, which
was in our harbor year ago. But since
that time the Tennessee has been put out of
commission and been stricken from the list
of naval vessels, and on the Goth day of last
January the Richmond hoisted her flag when
the good old Tennessee was compelled to
haul down her penant for the last time.
The U. S. flagship Richmond, Captain
Boyd, sailed from Portsmouth, N. H., yes

Concerning coIored Graduates.

IOkTLAND, July Z.
To the Editor Of the Press:
In an editorial in the Advertiser of this
evening occurs the following sentence re-
garding one of the members of the gradual
ing class from Colby University:
Adam s. Green is the first negro to graduate
not only from Colby University, but from any col
lege in Maine, and probably in New England"
This is hardly in accordance with the fact.
because there have already been two colored
graduates from Bates College-Thomas
Bolin, who graduated in the class of III, and
Daniel N. Grice, who graduated in the class
of 'S3. The former was born slave and
bore the marks of bondage upon his person
when he came North at the close of the war.
Going to Lewiston, he worked his way sue
cessiyely through the city schools and then
through the college, though he had already
reached mans estate. The latter was the
son of former slave. Neither race nor sex
has ever prevented any worthy student from
entering Bates College. Character and
scholarship are the only requisites for adj
mission. In his baccalaureate sermon in
1883 President Cheney used the following
language:
poor men an opportunity TO secure a liberal edu-
cation. This college was founded to give woman
an opportunity TO secure liberal education,
being the first In New England to open its doors
to woman. This college was founded to do a
work for religious people in educating men for
their pulpts."
Every class graduating from Bates College
contains a number of students who have
never paid a dollar of tuition. 1t is an ex-
ception when a graduating class does not
contain several students who intend to enter
the ministry. In the class that graduated
last week were five young ladies who had
successfully completed the college course,
